3-Day Chopta Adventure Trip from Delhi in Tempo Traveller

Taking a break from the corporate routine is something we all look forward to, and last month in November, our group finally got the chance to escape the busy city life. We planned a 3-day weekend trip to Chopta, one of Uttarakhand’s most scenic and adventure-filled destinations. As nine friends eager for both thrill and relaxation, we wanted a comfortable vehicle that could keep us together throughout the journey. After exploring multiple options, we booked a Tempo Traveller on hire in Delhi from SKTC, which turned out to be the perfect choice for a smooth, convenient, and enjoyable road trip.

A Comfortable Journey from Delhi to Chopta

Our journey began early in the morning, and the spacious Tempo Traveller made the entire ride incredibly comfortable. With ample legroom, reclining seats, and a clean interior, the vehicle allowed us to relax, chat, and enjoy the scenic beauty along the way. The drive from Delhi to Chopta gradually shifted from busy highways to beautiful mountain roads, dense forests, and fresh mountain air—preparing us for the incredible experience ahead.

Chopta – The Mini Switzerland of India

Often called the “Mini Switzerland of India,” Chopta is a breathtaking Himalayan region located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. What sets this place apart is its striking natural beauty, peaceful environment, and adventure-friendly landscapes. Surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, lush meadows (Bugyals), and dense forests, Chopta is a dream destination for nature lovers, trekkers, and those seeking a serene escape from city life.

Trekking to Tungnath, Chandrashila, and Deoria Tal

Chopta is famous for some of the most scenic and accessible trekking routes in India. During our trip, we explored:

Tungnath Trek: Home to the highest Shiva temple in the world, this trek offered mesmerising mountain views and a spiritual experience.

Chandrashila Summit: Known for its incredible sunrise and panoramic views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba peaks. Reaching the summit was truly one of the most rewarding moments of our trip.

Deoria Tal: A beautiful lake surrounded by dense forests, offering crystal-clear reflections of the mighty Chaukhamba range. The hike was peaceful, scenic, and perfect for photography lovers.

These treks gave us the perfect mix of adventure, natural beauty, and unforgettable memories.

Exploring Forests, Meadows, and Wildlife

Chopta is blessed with vast alpine meadows, dense oak and rhododendron forests, and rich wildlife. We spent time walking through scenic Bugyals, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and enjoying the calmness of the surroundings. The region is also home to the Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary, where we spotted unique birds and wildlife—adding more excitement to our journey.

Bird watchers will love Chopta, as it is a paradise for spotting Himalayan species such as the monal, laughing thrush, and barbets. The peaceful forest trails made the experience even more enjoyable.

Camping, Stargazing, and Adventure Sports

One of the best parts of our trip was camping under the clear, starlit sky. Away from city lights and noise, the night view of countless stars was simply magical. Sitting around a bonfire, sharing stories, and enjoying the cold mountain breeze created memories we will cherish forever.

For adventure lovers, Chopta also offers activities like rock climbing, abseiling, and motorbiking on scenic trails. The stunning alpine views, challenging paths, and thrill of adventure made these experiences unforgettable for everyone in the group.

A Perfect Blend of Adventure and Relaxation

Whether you're an experienced trekker or a beginner looking for a peaceful getaway, Chopta has something for everyone. Its serene landscapes, adventurous treks, and refreshing environment make it a must-visit destination in Uttarakhand.
